fnJq regression

[hmarko]

Hi there Mr Guy!

I think something changed from previous versions.

This used to work:

• type: expression
  name: flat_service_info
  expression: "fn.fnJq($(settings),'.|[leaf_paths as $path|{key: $path|join("^"), value: getpath($path)}]')"
  hide: true
  noOutput: true

It’s working using jq CLI :

[root@centos1 forms]# cat /tmp/a.json | jq '.| [leaf_paths as $path | {"key": $path | join("^"), "value": getpath($path)}]'
[
{
"key": "Home Dir^koko^yoyo^jojo^prod^cifsaccess^ntfs_acls^acls^0^access",
"value": "modify"
},
…

AF log entry returns this:

2023-11-19 10:09:42:942 error: Error in fnJq : jq: error: leaf_paths/0 is not defined at , line 1:
def fn2KB: ./1024;def fn2MB: ./1024/1024;def fn2GB: ./1024/1024/1024;def fnRound0: .*1.0 + 0.5|floor/1.0;def fnRound1: .*10.0 + 0.5|floor/10.0;def fnRound2: .*100.0 + 0.5|floor/100.0;def fnRound: .*100.0 + 0.5|floor/100.0;.services|[leaf_paths as $path|{key: $path|join("^"), value: getpath($path)}]

for testing purposes, it should work on any JSON input

a bug got into 18, its about placeholders. fixed in beta. will make release today. can you check if it fixes yours too?

Hi.

Found the issue, not related to AF.

This stopped working also between jq 1.6 to jq 1.7 in the CLI

[root@centos1 forms]# jq --version
jq-1.6
[root@centos1 forms]# /tmp/jq-linux-amd64 --version
jq-1.7

/tmp/jq-linux-amd64 '. | [leaf_paths as $path | {"key": $path | join("^"), "value": getpath($path)}]' /tmp/a.json
jq: error: leaf_paths/0 is not defined at , line 1:
. | [leaf_paths as $path | {"key": $path | join("^"), "value": getpath($path)}]

IS there any chance to downgrade your node-js package ?

[ansibleguy76]

that’s a bit difficult, is it a new bug in jq or was it to fix a bug in jq?

[hmarko]

looks like a new bug

[ansibleguy76]

      `leaf_paths` is an alias of `paths(scalars)`; `leaf_paths` is
      `leaf_paths` is an alias of `paths(isscalar)`; `leaf_paths` is
      *deprecated* and will be removed in the next major release.

This is in version 1.6.2. leaf_paths is an alias and will be deprecated.

Now, how unfortunate this is for you, I can't just stay on older version because of deprecated code.

This is closed... it's a deprecated jq issue
